Mazzy I agree with you. I have seen a big change in Dr. Phil. Half the time I can't bear to watch the entire show. I go to his website and voice my opinion on his website
www.drphil.com.
There was the day he had a lady who admitted she was a push over and that she would not stand up to anyone and just took crap from store employees, waiters, family, etc. Her daughter brought her there and she was not in denial at all. Instead of discussing the issue, Dr. Phil arranged to have a rude waiter imposter themself while she was dining to get her reaction...like candid camera.
I don't know what happened because I thought it was cruel and fast forwarded through it. If this were done to a person who is in denial, to prove what problem they have, it is one thing, but not to a nice and honest person. That was just plain mean. Why humilate someone for sport? NOt professional in my book. (As I write this I think of Lisa in her baby outfit. But she did volunteer, right?)
KPW, I did see most of the episode you describe above about the spending. That girl who wouldn't work but lived with her mother,....her condition started when she was a young child. People don't just grow up and suddenly become that way. They should have had the mother in the studio explaining that to her. Parents that give and give to their children without any restraint or condition and then get upset when the child is 25 and still expects it, are foolish. What do they expect? These kids are only that way because they were taught to be entitled. My parents have done this with my youngest brother and they can't understand why he can't manage his life. He is 34 years old but calls his parents when he has a flat tire, needs to see a doctor, his furnace breaks down, or his car needs repair work. He is married with 4 children. My mother takes responsiblity for many things with his kids as well. I know we should be able to depend on our family, but there should be a limit.
